The History Brush introduces the ability to paint back details that existed in an image when or after it was first opened. It gives the user the amazing ability to 'go back in time' and correct mistakes without reverting the entire image back to a former state. It's kinda like the history panel but in the form of a brush: maybe itself a reason why they call it the History Brush! In this example we'll paint back the sky around a billboard while leaving the changes we made inside the billboard untouched. It's a great feature of Photoshop that deserves to have it's 15 minutes of fame!

The history panel has been around for a while but it's still an integral part of Photoshop. If you're like me, then you're prone to making the odd mistake every once in a while, thanksfully the history panel gives us the opportunity of stepping back in time and revisiting older versions, or 'states' as Photoshop calls them, of the open image. Whilst this all sounds grand, there's a few things to know: history states don't save with an image, there's not an endless amount of them, and they can be non-descript at times.
